I wanted to post this some time ago. I don't know if it has already been mentioned but what's the deal with Shock and Shocked, while having the same name they different effects and the shocked had possession's icon. Can we get an update on that?

@esentis Really Shocked + Illuminati, need to just be unified into 1 effect. Plus it have an updated icon for they take up 3 icon slots when inflicted which creates problems when wanting to know what the monster is inflicted with. Or you could just have all monsters with shocked, have shock instead which would also work, I guess.

@MonstrousManiac ikr? Plus the wording on many many monster skills need an update. A few that come in my mind :
Just say it applies regeneration, we all know that:

Plague is negate healing, I don't see why it should be in game, it's not like a special possession:

Possess target, not targets :

We also have zero damage effect which is pretty much the same:

Not enough space on status effects, missing one out of three immunities:

Laziness.
Also Yndra has a skill which applies "Shock" to a target, but it's the "Shocked" effect.

Oh man, I cannot begin to sympathize with this post. The complete inconsistency of skill descriptions is mind boggling to me. I played MTG for years. Something they always did with each expansion was ensure that keyword language was uniform across all cards. Having precise, uniform language is necessary in navigating complex things, like when multiple cards and effects are happening at the same time.

There's less of that issue in ML, but, yeah, the language is all over the place. I've also never really like the regular vs. exclusive possessions. So, if a monster is immune to possession, he can still be 'hacked' by Hackster. Unless that monster is an Abomination. Then he can't be hit with regular or exclusive possessions. The imbalance always frustrated me.

I swear my krugbo has been hacked by hackster before wasnt trait disabled or anything, hmmm guess ill see next time i face a hackster, might have bugged or i went retarded who knows

@kayno125 Was it before the changes done? For he was able to be hacked before they updated his trait. However I've haven't fought an abomination with hackster in forever. So I couldn't tell ya.

@MonstrousManiac i think it may have been tbh i cant remember tho as i also havent come across a hackster in a while but when i do ill see how this go and post it here
